Boxes and Running...

So Friday I had off from work, and Jeromy has Friday's off typically. We were going to be doing alot of work around the house. Jeromy started by filling a large crack in the garage floor. The Realtor gave us a hit list of things that he spotted. This was one of them.

 He also noted the bad paint job in the hallway of the stairs. I noticed it too, but never did any thing for the 7+ years we lived here. But now, we are fixing it for future homeowners ggrrrrr. Well, Jeromy is. He's working hard. Don't like him working with funky ladders on stairs, but he's always safe...

 Jade is also decluttering and boxing stuff up, making a goodwill pile, and garbage pile.

 Jade is helping Kent go thru his clothes for goodwill, too. I'm busy working also, and not really sure Kent "knows" what should be kept and thrown away, but I trust Jade's judgement cause she's awesome like that, so she was helping him.

 I'm also boxing alot of stuff up, and decluttering. I'll be taking down my numbers on the wall :o(  but of course storing them in a safe place for the future home...

Ready to go to goodwill... then we headed to my moms to go thru her plastic and look at all her craft stuff she's getting rid off. Let's just say we had to throw stuff in and shut the doors fast to keep all the stuff Jeromy got from falling out! He's really into his puppet making and my mom has alot of cool stuff and stuff to organize it all.

 This room is the temporary storage, but most of these boxes got moved to the storage closet... just so much stuff..

 Then today, Saturday morning at 9AM we ran in the:

 Viking Fest Road Race 2012!!!

Love running with my kids. And I love that they love to do it! We actually don't run together, but we are all "together" in spirit thru out the run. I ran the 5 miles (my number is black) and the kids ran in the 1 mile event (their numbers are red).

 You can see a little bit of the water behind us. This is one of my favorite runs cause it goes along the water in Poulsbo. And the weather was perfect!

 Jeromy came and took pictures and handed out tracks, the million dollar ones telling people it was their prize for running!

Just before the run, Kent was found swinging. He's always loved to swing- I always did too. Kinda feels like you're flying.

 There's Kent- what a great picture Jeromy!

 He got Jade in motion, too! There she goes...

 Kent always takes good pictures when he's running... he ran his one mile in 8:56 awesome!

 Jade always has that look of concentration... she ran her mile in 10:23- sweeet!

Mine's the look of pain LOL

I actually got a PR (personal record) for Viking Fest- I ran my 5 miles in 46:51, that's a 9 min 22 sec mile average- woohoo!

 You know the Poulsbo bakery is right there. And Kent is no dummy, he grabbed a few dollars before he left the house just to buy that donut that's as big as his head... he's so darn cute!

 Jade is making a delicious lunch, cut up onions, peppers, and turkey sausage all mixed up in scrambles eggs... look at that face- she's so pretty!

 Kent also making scrambled eggs- gotta love those chickens out back that are actually doing their job!

Now I am resting. Why do you ask? Well, it's not cause I ran 5 miles but because I have to go into tonight at 5pm and work a 12 hour shift till 5am- I'm trying not to cry about (just kidding... mostly) going to be soo tired. Also working the same 12 tomorrow, and Monday and most likely thur the week to get this project done by Friday... prayers to keep my sanity please and thank you!

Just have to remember how much fun I've had with my family this past 2 days....
